What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to help them feel comfortable. I prefer a client-driven approach, as this helps them to feel they have a say and accountability regarding what they would like to work on.

What tools do you teach in online therapy?

I teach the following tools in online therapy: active listening (eye contact, nodding), validation, holding space (not interrupting the speaker), and interactive feedback.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they are able to utilize effective coping skills when triggered.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

I encourage clients to practice effective coping skills such as journaling, exercising, listening to music, taking walks, reaching out to their support network, and sharing their feelings with others.

What should someone do to prepare for starting online therapy?

To prepare for online counseling think about what it is you need support for as well as what symptoms you may be struggling with.

Online therapy FAQs

What is online therapy?

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.

What is the best option for online therapy?

There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

How long does online therapy last?

Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.

How much does online therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Online Counseling Benefits

Online therapy is a valuable counseling option. The primary benefit though—one that often leads people to choose online counseling over in-person counseling—is the convenience factor. A problem for many people who are looking for mental health services is their already busy or demanding schedule!

Online counseling works to remove this problem from the equation. You don’t have to worry about working a commute into your schedule. Instead, all you need is to block out a window of your time to work with your counselor. And then you can hop onto your video session from wherever you prefer or happen to be. Gone are the days when you spend more time getting to and from your appointment than you do in your appointment!

What Are the Other Perks of Online Counseling?

As we’ve mentioned, online counseling is often a great option for many people in search of mental health help. In addition to convenience, online counseling provides other benefits that prove valuable including:

  • Comfort: Because you can attend your sessions from home, you’ll likely feel more comfortable than you ever have before in an appointment! And we mean physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yes, you can stay in your PJs. But also, you might feel more comfortable opening up to your counselor from a distance.
  • Safety: Online counseling also offers safety and security. Certain circumstances can cause us to be sequestered at home, such as a widespread virus. In these circumstances, you can still attend your therapy sessions safely, using virtual means in online counseling.
  • Affordability: Online counseling is also an affordable counseling option via insurance. In addition, Thriveworks Mt. Pleasant has affordable self-pay rates.
  • Efficacy: We can’t stress enough that online counseling is an effective option too. You aren’t sacrificing success that you would make in in-person counseling. In the same breath, if you find that online counseling just isn’t right for you, that’s okay too! We’re happy to go on this journey with you to find what type of counseling best suits you.

If you want to explore these benefits for yourself, reach out to Thriveworks Mt. Pleasant. We’re here and ready to help.

I am very pleased with Susan Jillson as my provider. The referral to her was a great match for my needs. She quickly grasped my issues, cared enough to ask me what I wanted from her, shared her ideas about a starting approach to help that I'm excited to try, and already gave me helpful information in the first two sessions with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, relatable, and funny at times. She was prompt and the hour flew by. I like that she thinks outside the box and is open to referring me to someone else for matters beyond her expertise, while still taking an interest in those specialties. Lastly, I feel comfortable and safe with her.
